Emergency First Aid Guide β€” Your Agent Walked Me Through CPR

CPR survival rate 2-3x with bystander interventionHealth & Medical3 min read

Key Takeaway

The Doctor skill includes step-by-step emergency protocols for CPR, choking, severe bleeding, burns, and poisoning. In the critical minutes before paramedics arrive, your AI agent provides calm, specific instructions.

The Problem

You witness someone collapse. They're not breathing. You learned CPR in a certification class three years ago. You remember... chest compressions? How deep? How fast? Do you still do mouth-to-mouth? What about the AED thing?

92% of people who experience cardiac arrest outside a hospital die. Immediate CPR doubles or triples survival odds. But bystanders attempt CPR in only 39% of cases. The #1 reason: "I wasn't sure what to do."

Time is everything:

  • 0-4 minutes: Brain begins to suffer from oxygen deprivation
  • 4-6 minutes: Brain damage likely begins
  • 6-10 minutes: Brain damage certain without intervention
  • 10+ minutes: Irreversible brain death in most cases

Paramedics arrive in 7-14 minutes on average. Those first 7 minutes are on YOU.

The Solution

The Doctor skill provides real-time, step-by-step emergency guidance. It doesn't replace calling 911 β€” it's what happens in the minutes between calling and arrival.

The Process

View details
You: Someone collapsed at the gym. Not breathing.
     What do I do?

Agent: 🚨 CARDIAC ARREST PROTOCOL

CALL 911 (OR HAVE SOMEONE ELSE CALL) β€” DO THIS FIRST.

If someone else is present, point at them and say
"YOU β€” call 911 and get the AED." Designating a specific
person prevents bystander effect.

START CHEST COMPRESSIONS NOW:

1. Place them on their BACK on a hard, flat surface
2. Kneel beside their chest
3. Place the heel of one hand on the CENTER of their
   chest (between the nipples)
4. Place your other hand ON TOP, fingers interlaced
5. Lock your elbows straight β€” push with your body
   weight, not your arms
6. Push HARD and FAST:
   - Depth: at least 2 inches (5 cm) β€” deeper than
     you think
   - Rate: 100-120 pushes per minute
   - Rhythm: think "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees
     β€” that's the exact tempo
7. Let the chest fully come back up between pushes
8. DO NOT STOP until:
   - They start breathing/moving
   - AED arrives
   - Paramedics take over
   - You physically cannot continue

MOUTH-TO-MOUTH:
If you're trained and willing: 30 compressions, then
2 breaths (tilt head back, lift chin, seal mouth,
breathe until chest rises). Then 30 more compressions.

If NOT trained or uncomfortable: COMPRESSION-ONLY CPR
is effective. Just keep pushing. Don't stop to figure
out breathing.

AED (if available):
- Turn it on β€” it gives voice instructions
- Attach pads to bare chest (diagrams on pads)
- Follow the machine β€” it will tell you when to
  push the button
- Resume compressions immediately after shock

⏱️ I'll keep this open. Tell me what's happening and
I'll guide you through any changes needed.

The critical value: calm, specific, sequential instructions when the person is panicking. The agent doesn't panic. It doesn't forget steps. It adapts based on what the person reports.

Why This Matters

The agent covers all of these scenarios with step-by-step protocols.
